Spirit Airlines Celebrates its 100th Plane with $100 Giveaway for Customers

MIRAMAR, Fla., May 23, 2017 -- Spirit Airlines celebrated its growing Fit Fleet with a huge surprise for customers travelling on three different flights today. Spirit’s new Airbus A321 took flight this morning as the airline’s 100^th aircraft, joining the youngest, most fuel-efficient fleet in the U.S. In honor of the big addition, Spirit gave away $100 future flight credits, new plane air fresheners and inflight concerts to more than 600 lucky customers heading from Fort Lauderdale to Orlando, Orlando to Atlantic City, and Atlantic City to Fort Lauderdale. Check out this video of the big inflight surprise reveal here: https://vimeo.com/218701063

Dubbed NK 675, Spirit’s snazzy yellow 100th plane is 44.5 meters long with a max take-off weight of 89 tons. As part of the celebration around its first flight, Spirit also hooked up customers with some awesome inflight music to complement the new plane smell. The music continued as customers boarded and deplaned at all three different airports, showcasing an artist from Spirit’s new “Give & Go” program.  Give & Go supports up and coming musical artists with flights to gigs and distribution of their music to our customers in exchange for pop up concerts and fun inflight experiences. We will be expanding to include other creative types like photographers and filmmakers, giving them a chance to trade their talent for travel—giving everyone “More Go”. Interested artists can head to www.spiritgiveandgo.com to enter and find out more.

Spirit will also be celebrating its 100^th plane with sales and deals all week long. To check out the celebratory ultra-low fares and discounts, head to www.spirit.com and start planning your next vacation now.
